Sony, Intel To Push Content Protection

Posted by Hemos on from the e.g.-copyright-protection dept.

prostoalex writes "Intel and Sony are trying to please the copyright-alerted content publishers and privacy-aware consumers by supporting and pushing Digital Transmission Content Protection standard. New technology allows the consumer to use the downloaded content, but not distribute it outside of their home. A PDF presentation from an Intel engineer is available on dtcp.com."

    people will keep their old PCs because of that. how are the sales supposed to increase then? will they sneak drm-enabled processors to customers without telling it? maybe with a new eXPerience of an Operating System?

    I really hope that some new company (from China, maybe?) will come up with new brands of processors without the DRM stuff. but then probably the US government will make them illegal in the country :)

    No more intel for me. I'm buying AMD from now.

    That won't make much difference.

    In the worst case, I'm moving to China to buy a Chiniese PC. Runs linux.

    Yeah, because China is such a hotbed for freedom...until you do something the government doesn't like. Oh, and there's nothing stopping them from putting DRM into Linux.

    well, if you want to record in mono and overload your mic preamp, go ahead. otherwise, do it properly and plug it into the the LINE IN on your sound card.


    sheesh, someone tells you to plug something into your soundcard and it gets a plus 4 insightful? whilst i'm here, anyone want to mod me up if i tell you how to unplug your keybo....
